You may need to update your drivers OR disable your antivirus software

Close Skype, your browser, or any other programs completely and then open up the game, this works differently for different people so you may need to test what works for you.
You can open the programs again after launching the game

You can open the programs you closed after you launched the game

If that still doesn't work then I suggest you restart your computer, and then close any start up programs you have active after the reboot

"Sensitive people are the most genuine and honest people you will ever meet. There is nothing they won’t tell you about themselves if they trust your kindness. However, the moment you betray them, reject them or devalue them, they become the worse type of person.
Unfortunately, they end up hurting themselves in the long run. They don’t want to hurt other people. It is against their very nature. They want to make amends and undo the wrong they did.
Their life is a wave of highs and lows. They live with guilt and constant pain over unresolved situations and misunderstandings. They are tortured souls that are not able to live with hatred or being hated. This type of person needs the most love anyone can give them because their soul has been constantly bruised by others.
However, despite the tragedy of what they have to go through in life, they remain the most compassionate people worth knowing, and the ones that often become activists for the broken hearted, forgotten and the misunderstood. They are angels with broken wings that only fly when loved.

(1.0) Right click MapleRoyals.exe, then click on Properties.
(1.1) Go to the Compatibility tab.
(1.2) Press "Change settings for all users".
(1.3) Check the box "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select Windows 7.
(1.4) Tick "Reduced color mode" and select 8-bit(256) color.
(1.5) Tick "Run this program as an administrator"
(1.6) Now run and see if it works. (proceed to step 2 if not working)

(2) Close all Internet-usage apps (e.g Chrome/Skype); and run MapleRoyals.exe. (proceed to step 3 if not working)

(3) Keep launching Mapleroyals.exe (sometimes it takes 2~3 tries of parameter error before it worked)(but if you launched 10 times and all 10 times had that error, then proceed to step 4)

(4) Restart Windows. This time, when Windows had loaded, do not launch any internet-usage apps (Chrome/Skype etc) and straightaway launch the exe. Once MapleRoyals had loaded, you then may press ALT + ENTER and open chrome or any app as you desire.
